jocks are subhumans
The smallest things can open up so many cans of worms. I will pin this on the moment they decided to let players dance and make a spectacle of themselves.
kudos to the newspaper and their writers…
I hate to see embarrassing news like this that represents the U.S. universities negatively. But at least, the report didn’t get buried and the university took some real actions to prevent future occurrence. Thanks to the people whose helped to pressure and raise awareness on this issue.
I’m SHOCKED they fired the coach!! I was going to say that OF COURSE the “independent investigation” didn’t find evidence that the coach knew about the abuse!! Whenever there is an investigation of this kind they NEVER find anyone specifically to blame!! This one was apparently no exception. So the fact that they fired the coach anyway is surprising! But I’m glad they did!
When men make the allegations they are believed enough to be believed. Looked at comments where women make allegations despite extremely few allegations are false and most convicted offenders walk free
Exactly, the double strandard is disgusting.
Exactly, the double strandard is digusting.
extrastout: Please give examples or percentages. Not only is Larry Nassar, for example, rightly serving a more than life sentence, but that life, it seems, may turn out to be shorter than it otherwise might be. A settlement of nearly $400,000,000, as I recall, was forced on USA Gymnastics, which had the ultimate responsibility for the safety and treatment of its athletes. Allegations by both men and women are not taken seriously enough by the powers that be, or, on he oher hand, the media jump to an assumption of guilt, when what they should be doing is scrutinizing the process of determining innocence or guilt rather than egging on the public in one direction or the other.
“The quarterback touched my butt!” – the Center
😂😂😂 brilliant! I’m angry that I didn’t think of that first. 😂😂
Athletes are not role models.
Most 18-22 year olds aren’t role models.
The coach would sit in a corner like a cuke just watching the hazing in the corner
The Final Nail in the Coffin ⚰️ :
Last Season’s 1 – 11 Record🏈 👎👎 .
I liked northwestern so much better 40 years ago. Sure, the football team stunk, but at least it was filled with student athletes who put studying abpve all else. I miss STUDENT athletes.
Jalen Green did the same thing to Josh Christopher and he liked it. Unfortunately Josh got traded. Long distance relationships rarely work out. Jalen❤Josh
Sounds like some regular horseplay, the guy was probably mad that he sucked.
Was that what you experienced? Miss a play,get humped by the linemen? miss me with that.
@John Scottyou seem really sensitive about this subject 🤔 don’t project your forced humping past on people
Mass shooting waiting to happen😳
Sounds he is very soft
You guys are really chill when it comes to punitive dry humping by your fellows.
It is always interesting how these highly-paid college head coaches suddenly act like a substitute teacher when scandal hits.
This is exactly why northwestern football finished in last place last year in d1 fbs at 1 and 11. No football seriousness and much horseplay. Horseplay never pays off. Legit joke cracking sometimes is fun but sometimes people take it to far.
Why because the women be I ng used for thier mess have been mistreated
IT’S CALLED BULLYING!
They are football players tho.. Its ok.. Bow down to the man in power and look the other way.. Typical white hick behavior..
BS . Coaches arent that dumb – They like getting paid Millions of Dollars .
Seems like football players are often misbehaving. I always look forward to the end of football season.
MONSTERS 🥀 ABOMINATION 🥀
hello NBC, may you help in noting the afterschool hours report of northwestern hazing is strange. university will be returning next end of month. northwestern is the top ranked Midwest college in reputation. sad of this news being out there. elle for Syracuse wildcats
Fitzgerald coached the team like a fraternity. He is a racist, bully and an A hole.
See women? This is how it’s supposed to be done! You don’t wait decades to file a report until the assaulter becomes rich and famous. You report the incident immediately.
No surprise to see the same behaviors with NFL players
That whistle blower seemed pretty effite. Just saying. Did he actually play football or just hang in the locker room?
Uh that’s disgusting. What is wrong with this country at every level
Boys will be boys. Let men do men things, stop making a generation of softies. If you can’t hack it then go join the book or art club
It sucks that people get blamed for others’stupidity.
As a football player from illinois.. Im not really shocked all this was happening..
You might want to win some games first Northwestern.
Hahahahahaha
Who cares let them have fun
This is 2023..for him to not know about anyone in his profession orbit is….almost impossible. Old fashioned gossip travels fast enough..so I know that phone media feedback is even faster. To lie with that fake game face is so insincere…just STOP and own up to the incident and attempt to change the narrative. Poorly handled is an understatement. Northwestern should be totally forthcoming with information..instead of this media vacuum. I’m very afraid this is just the tip of the hazing iceberg…more will come to light as the NEWS digs deeper.
